New Delhi. Diwali is a festival of lights, joy and firecrackers, but the sparks and smoke emitted from the firecrackers can cause major damage to your car and bike. In such a situation, it is important that you take some precautions to keep your vehicle safe. Here we share some simple and effective tips to help you keep your car and bike safe during Diwali.

1. Cover the vehicle
Sparks from firecrackers during Diwali can damage the paint of your car or bike. In such a situation, covering the vehicle is the best solution. The cover not only protects against sparks from fireworks, but also against smoke and dust.

2. Park in a garage or safe location
If you have a garage at home, park the vehicle there. If there is no garage, try to keep the vehicle away from open fields or places where crackers are burned. Parking the vehicle outdoors increases the risk of sparks from fireworks.

3. Do not burn crackers near the vehicle
For your own safety and the safety of other vehicles, ensure that no fireworks are burned near the vehicle. This reduces the possibility of damage to the vehicle. Point this out to children in particular.

4. Wash and wax
Get your car or bike washed and waxed before Diwali. This creates an additional layer of paint that protects the vehicle’s paint from damage caused by sparks and smoke from firecrackers.

5. Have a fire extinguisher ready
Keeping a small fire extinguisher in your vehicle and home is a good option to deal with sudden fire situations. This can ensure the safety of not only your vehicle but also other vehicles nearby.

7. Keep car windows and sunroof closed
If your car has a sunroof, keep it and all windows closed to prevent sparks from fireworks from getting inside. This is a small but effective way to protect the vehicle.

8. Use of smart parking apps
Nowadays, there are many smart parking apps that can help your vehicle find a safe parking space. Using these apps you can park your vehicle in a safe place.
